Buy it and it drops down from 12mm in your hub to 10mm where it meets your dropouts xD

is the hub 150mm x12mm or 135 x12mm? because if it's a 150mm wide you won't be able to run it.
if it's a 135 then you can use this

edit: beaten on this:P

What are the dimensions? 12mm x 135mm? if they are the axle i linked you will work. if its 12mm x 150mm it wont but i think you can get the same axle longer.

edit: Beaten by the other dude on the dimensions

you can't get a 150mm spaced hub to work with a 135mm spaced frame...
